Radio technicians are a group of allied medicine professionals who are trained to use medical imaging techniques, such as x-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET), and ultrasound for creating images of a patient’s internal anatomy to diagnose injury or disease. Imaging techniques involve the use of radiation, hence it is very important to have adequate training and understanding of radiation safety and protection.

Many radio technicians have operated amateur radios or worked with hobby kits in their spare time, and others have worked in college radio or news broadcasting. Manual dexterity is important, and radio technicians must have a tolerance for sometimes inconsistent work hours and off-hours repair calls. It's beneficial to have a natural grasp of electronic systems and equipment, as well, though many radio technicians learn these concepts on the job.
